Midland Industries SS2406-20-12 Jic Reducer Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS2406-20-12 is a stainless steel reducer/expander adapter designed to connect a 1-1/4 inch Female JIC fitting to a 3/4 inch Male JIC fitting in hydraulic and fluid system plumbing. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this adapter offers strong resistance to corrosion and elevated heat, making it appropriate for demanding industrial and fluid transfer applications. It is rated to a maximum operating pressure of 2500 psi and can withstand operating temperatures up to 1000 degrees F. The adapter conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 dimension standards, ensuring consistent thread form and fitment in professional installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This adapter is used wherever a hydraulic or fluid line requires a transition between a 20 dash size hose (1-1/4 inch Female JIC) and a 12 dash size hose (3/4 inch Male JIC). Typical applications include hydraulic plumbing on industrial equipment, mobile machinery, and high-pressure fluid transfer systems where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The SS2406 series is specifically designed as a FJIC to MJIC reducer/expander, making it a direct solution for mismatched JIC line sizes in the same system.

Key Features

• Rated to 2500 psi maximum operating pressure for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid lines
• Handles operating temperatures up to 1000 degrees F
• Conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 dimension standards for reliable thread compatibility
• Connects 20 dash size (1-1/4 inch Female JIC) to 12 dash size (3/4 inch Male JIC)
• Minimum order quantity of 1 - available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed for use in hydraulic and high-pressure fluid systems requiring a transition from a 1-1/4 inch Female JIC connection to a 3/4 inch Male JIC connection, accommodating 20 and 12 hose dash sizes per ANSI B1.20.1 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

This adapter should be installed by a qualified pipefitter, hydraulic technician, or licensed plumber. Depressurize and fully isolate the hydraulic or fluid system before removing or installing any fittings. JIC fittings rely on metal-to-metal 37-degree flare seating - inspect both mating flare surfaces for nicks or damage before assembly. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening JIC connections to avoid over-tightening and deforming the seating surface.
